It’s Game one at Minute Maid Park in 2019. The home boys face their main AL West competition in 2018, the Oakland A’s. The Astros come home limping a bit, starting the season 2-5 and scoring only 15 runs in the process. The A’s are 6-4 thus far.

Collin McHugh goes to the mound for the Astros against Frankie Montas. For more on this matchup and both teams go HERE.
